The blockade in Manipur will be lifted on Tuesday evening, but the state is still waiting for Central forces. After meeting the Prime Minister on Monday, Naga groups have promised to lift the 64-day economic blockade in the state.

Naga students though say blockade will resume if their demands are not met.

The blockade has hit the people of Manipur very hard with prices of essential commodities skyrocketing and medical supplies running out.

The first convoy of trucks escorted by CRPF from Assam through Nagaland and into Imphal is expected only on Friday.

NSCN (IM) chief TH Muivah is still in Nagaland and hasn't given up his demand of entering Manipur to visit his native village. Muivah's proposed visit which Manipur government has been resisting is also a flashpoint in this crisis and needs resolution.
